The issues pertain to 'screen bleeding' and edge light dispersion on the device, as reported by some Poco F1 users.

The Xiaomi Poco F1 is a particularly popular option, because of the strong price point it hits while packing in flagship-grade hardware. It is the most affordable smartphone on the Android platform to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, priced from Rs 20,999. As a result of this, it’s garnered a lot of attention from users. However, like any other smartphone, the Poco F1 has had its share of issues, including reported ‘light bleed’ issues.

Xiaomi has now issued a clarification for these screen issues, which comes nearly a month after we first reported on them. Also covered in the statement on the Poco India official Twitter account is an explanation regarding the ‘screen bleeding’ issue. The company has stated that both of these issues are small, limited in the number of users affected, and don’t affect performance or quality on the phone.

Important update: At POCO, we always strive to bring the best for our customers.
